I know I've posted out here before,
but seeing as there are a few people posting with 5th wheels,
and post on remembering your height. I thought I would post a few
pic's of a person who forgot how tall he really was.

For those who do not know me I have been working on RV's, trailers, etc. for the past 10 years. The last 4 have been doing body repair after someone try's to put something large in too small a place.
I thank you all for supporting me.


This person tried to get under a canopy at a hotel and got stuck half way thru. I replaced 8 steel trusses 4 sheets of plywood interior paneling and the rubber roof.
Price for repair, you don't want to know $$,$$$.$$.

Would be nice if the maker of that RV loomed those wires running thru the trusses.

I'm 13'-1" at the top of the front A/C; and hoping I don't screw up and have one of those moments.

Thanks for the graphic reminder of the consequences.

Never let your gaurd down for a second.I tore my awing almost completely of yesterday.Family and i were enjoying a near perfect three day weekend .as we were loading everything I decided to pull camper up a few feet so we could use rear door for easier loading(Toy Hauler) .My daughter had made her a close line that was tied to awing post and a steel lattern post at campsite.I completey forgot the rope.Pulled up about four feet,just enough to destroy awing.I always do a walk around prior to hitting the road.Just didnt do it this time.

Dont forget how low they hang either. I just pulled my friends camper out of my back yard and spun off the valve to the black water tank. I'm just glad there was hardly anything in it. The tank and valve are okay, I just broke the seal and popped the valve off. I got to get some PVC putty and reattach it.
